London's Air Ambulance Charity Abseil @ Royal London Hospital

If you're of an intrepid nature and fancy raising some money for charity, London's Air Ambulance is holding its annual abseiling event at Whitechapel's Royal London Hospital on Thursday, Friday and Sunday this week.

The abseil is from the hospital's helipad — 17 floors up — which should give anyone taking part a decent view of east London from the other side of the window.

Registration costs £35 and there's a fundraising commitment of £300, but late entrants will have up to eight weeks after the abseil to meet this.

The event runs from Thursday 19 June 2014 to Sunday 22 June at London's Air Ambulance Helipad, Floor 17, The Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel. Visit the website for details and follow @LDNairamb on Twitter.
